One of the best ways to engage students in meaningful scientific investigations is through the use of real-world phenomena that can stimulate them to develop their own questions about the world. In this session, we will focus on what it really means for students to be proficient in the science and engineering practice of asking questions and what types of phenomena are most effective and efficient in supporting students in asking scientific questions.

Escape rooms are games that ask groups to think critically, problem solve, troubleshoot, and work collaboratively to “escape” a room before the clock runs out. Teams follow clues and work together to solve puzzles that lead them toward a successful escape.
